Well I made some decent headway today and good thing since I need to get back to my real job for a little while. At least as this point I can do a couple hours here and there to wipe it out.
Got the end wall framing all finished up. The first one to go on was the back wall. Because of how the cabinet is framed internally I needed to move the mounting locations inside and install nutserts. This way when I need to remove and reinstall I don't have to remove the drawers to do so. Also by installing the 1/8 flat stock I was able to offset enough to miss the cap and not have that part impact the framing. It's amazing how a 32nd of an inch here and there can screw the pooch as it adds up.
Because the flange of the nutsert stuck out a 1/16" I opened up the mounting hole to fit around it.
I recessed some angle 1/4" on the end wall so I could insert a panel after everything is said and done.
So I had a bit of an issue with the depth of the cabinet and mobile cart. In order for it to finish out flush with the face it obviously had to match the rest of the cabinets. that meant I either installed a panel on the back which would get the **** beat out of it or come up with a stop. So I choose to use the bottom rail of the wall as the stop against the wheel uprights. I got just enough room left to install 1/8" of rubber on the inside of the rail so it's not metal on metal. I also tried to get the height just right and allow for an uneven floor. Between the guide rails and the stop and cabinet goes perfectly into place everytime.......it turned out better then I had hoped.
After that it was time to get going on making sure this end piece always stayed true and square so I added some additional corner bracing. And installed the mount for the hose reel that's going to occupy that space. I recessed that part of the frame so I could minimize how far the hose end stuck out. That's get a stainless filler panel.
And once that got done I could finish up the top support frame. I came up with something I think is going to be fine for mounting it. I installed rod couplers, bolted from the bottom and as you can see the top (well as soon as I get the right length bolts). This way I could put the drawers back in and not have to remove them when taking the top and the frame off. Man was I glad to get this done so I could clean the insides out.
And once that was wiped out, I vacuumed out the insides and go that pile of drawers off the floor. Ya I still need to paint the faces of the larger drawers, but screw it, I'll tape the **** out of everything and spray it in place.
So here she boys, not done but done enough to be able to install the liners and start loading my tools.
